Arsenic
pollution

Arsenic pollution means arsenic contaminated water. Of
late arsenic pollution has become one of the most health hazards in Bangladesh. By
drinking arsenic water ,people get the disease. Arsenic is a fatal poison. It
has been deposited in that layer of the soil from here our tube-wells pump out
water. As a result in most areas of Bangladesh tube-well water in
contaminated with arsenic. Arsenic pollution has made the scarcity of drinking
water acute though our country is water-rich. The irony of fate is that “water,
water everywhere nor a drop to drink.” It is a hard nut to crack. Our ignorant
people are drinking arsenic polluted water from tube wells and are human being
affected by arsenicosis. Those who do not eat fish and vegetables are easily
affected. Arsenic is such a poison that is damages all the vital organs ore
after another resulting in the subsequent death o the sufferer. Arsenicosis has
no remedy nor has it any antidote. Hence arsenic pollution demands utmost attention.
An affected person should drink arsenic free water and take vitamins A,C,E to
come round. Arsenic polluted water has been ter5med as the killing water. There
has been world wide awareness of this problem. Aids from different corners are
reaching. Deep tube wells rainwater, reservoirs, surface water treatment, etc
may be the pragmatic measures to minimize the problem to a great extent.
